Thanks for the input.....
Thanks for the feedback. I'm beginning to think I have walked in to a situation that is much worse than I anticipated. I now see that the trucks on the trailer are positioned so the boat sits more on the corner than on the flat side of the piece. This certainly doesn't help my case for the indentati...

Oh no..... is my hull collapsing?
Hello all. I took advantage of the beautiful weather today to do some more evaluations on the Buccaneer day sailor that I recently obtained and things were looking pretty good until I took a closer look at the hull. This boat has been sitting on the trailer for 4 - 5 years and where the hull sits on...

Thanks for the insight

I think my approach will be to load up the ice with salt tomorrow when the temp is supposed to reach the low 40's here and keep the concentration high enough that any resulting water will remain a liquid. I really feel the need to remove this sou...

Will calcium chloride do any damage to fiberglass?
I just got a Chrysler 18' sailboat yesterday and there is a huge amount of ice in it. I am unfamiliar with this boat design and don't know if there is a drain to get it out, but first, I need to melt it. I am in Massachusetts and it is unlikely that the temperatures will allow me to let Mother Natur...
